The AD-080CL is a 2CCD multi-spectral camera that simultaneously captures
both colour and near-Infra Red (NIR) images in one camera housing and
through a single lens. This is a unique concept of simultaneous capture
of RGB
colour
and Near-IR images with pixel correlation between the two
images. It uses a multi-faceted prism in the optical path with bandpass
filters on each spectral axis to give users the ability to directly compare
images pixel to pixel with different spectra. This unique camera opens
up a very wide range of capabilities.

The AD-080CL features a 1024 x 768 pixel progressive scan CCD sensor
capable of 30 frames per second (full resolution) in continuous (free-run)
mode and higher frame rates with Partial Scan or Vertical Binning modes.
Several trigger modes are also available allowing random capture of individual
images. It features two Camera Link outputs that produce separate and synchronised
images.

The AD-080CL is part of Jai's C3 (Camera Core Concept) family which offers one core concept, one interface (Camera Link) and one simple choice. This high-end model features in the advanced section of the C3 family and so offers superb performance and a broad range of pre-processing to handle the most demanding applications.

Jai's unique AD-080CL opens up the possibility for new applications or
for optimising existing applications. For example it is able to view surface
properties in the colour channel while simultaneously viewing just below
the surface in the near-IR channel. A typical application for this capability
is the inspection of fruit and vegetables where bruising under the surface
can be detected while simultaneously measuring the colour of the fruit.
Other applications include the inspection of thin plastic packaging while
simultaneously inspecting the contents of the packaging. There are applications
in textile defect detection, aerial mapping, print quality inspection
and many others.

Jai's advanced capabilities with prism and camera design have produced
a camera that is truly ahead of its time and have opened new opportunities
for vision developers and OEM's.
